The professional audio field is moving towards the IT era of networking. Standardized and open audio IP technologies represent a brand new direction for the future development of Audio over IP (AoIP). The two major standards of the International Audio Engineering Society (AES) regarding network audio applications—AES67 and AES70—lay the technical specifications for future networked … Read more
Earthquakes, as one of the sudden and highly destructive natural disasters, can cause significant casualties and property damage in a short time. A large number of building structures are damaged or even collapse, seriously threatening people’s lives and property safety. Therefore, it is essential to conduct seismic design and reinforcement of buildings. The traditional seismic … Read more
According to the 2020 energy sector industry standards revision plan issued by the National Energy Administration, the China Electric Power Research Institute Co., Ltd. has drafted two power industry standards: “12kV Integrated Column Switch” and “12kV Integrated Ring Network Box”. In June 2021, the Distribution Technology Center of the China Electric Power Research Institute organized … Read more
During the progression of cancer, solid tumors often grow in areas lacking nutrients and oxygen. The abnormal structure of blood vessels and the high growth rate of tumors lead to cells that are far from blood vessels being in a state of hypoxia or low oxygen levels. The hypoxic environment within tumors reduces the efficacy … Read more
